For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.
—Ephesians 1:4-5

Before the New Testament, before the Old Testament— before the creation of the world, God chose us! What an amazing concept to teach your children—that God has loved them since not only before they were born, but before the earth existed. And He planned on adopting them as His children through Jesus Christ.

The stories in this second book in the Covenant Promises for Covenant Kids series show how God’s adoption of Israel in the book of Exodus teaches us about Jesus. After each story are questions that will help you evaluate your children’s comprehension and encourage additional conversations with them. As Caleb, Cassie, Angus, and Susie learn about God’s love from Exodus, your covenant kids will also learn about the wonder, as well as the responsibility, of being children of the living God.

Dear Parents:
This series is our effort to put the concepts from Heirs of the Covenant and Your Home—A Place of Grace into stories for families. We want children to have the glorious experience of discovering Jesus on every page of Scripture. We want them to see what the disciples saw: That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus. . . .

When our children see Jesus in all of Scripture, they will begin to see the covenantal framework of Scripture and of life. A covenant is a binding agreement. God bound Himself to His people in a covenant of grace. His relationship with His people is to be mirrored in their relationships with one another. The covenant is a way of life that flows out of a promise of life. A
covenantal perspective will give our children the foundation for a robust faith and life. This comprehensive worldview will give them a passion to find others and proclaim, “The Lord has risen indeed!”
